Overview

  • The team moved offensive lineman Brady Christensen to injured reserve following a torn Achilles and surgery on Wednesday.
  • Carolina used Christensen's roster spot to sign quarterback Mike White from the practice squad to the active roster.
  • Backup Andy Dalton did not practice Wednesday because of a right thumb injury, prompting the quarterback depth move.
  • Starter Bryce Young was listed as a full participant in practice in the latest team report.
  • White was valued for familiarity with the Bills' offense and brings 15 NFL appearances with seven starts for the Jets, and the Panthers re-signed defensive tackle Jaden Crumedy to the practice squad to fill the vacancy.
